Conceptual Physics Rocks This course is a college prep physics course with an Algebra based curriculum. It is intended for students that want to take physics but may not necessarily be interested in a math or science centered career. We do not have a textbook for this course, as we will be using the website www.physicsclassroom.com as our resource for reading, simulations and review. Many of the worksheets correlate with specific pages on this website. Those addresses/urls will appear at the top of each worksheet.
WEEKLY PLANS (May 7-11) Monday: Go over quizzes; Continue with combined circuits WS practice problems Finish for HW if necessary Tuesday: Power and Electricity safety Wednesday: REVIEW for Current electricity TEST HW: Study for TEST Thursday:TEST - Electric Currents Friday: Begin Quiz board project
